Annual

3 Situational Overview Downtown Mountain View continues to grow and develop. From a retail perspective, vacancy is back to levels

comparable

to

pre-pandemic.

However,

the

upper

floors

are

still

experiencing

rates

of

more

than

30%,

which

directly

impacts

the

health

of

merchants

due

to

a

lower

amount

of

foot

traffic.

Still,

the

street

feels

vibrant,

especially

given

the

number

of

activations

that

the

City,

Chamber

and

DBA

have

aligned

to

initiate.

A

notable

movement

this

year

has

been

the

deepening

of

the

partnership

between

the

DBA

and

the

City

on

activations

and

activities

(such

as

the

major

sports

events

happening

in

the

Bay

Area)

as

well

as

information

collection

and

dissemination.

The

DBA

is

also

active

in

providing

input

and

insights

to

City

policies

and

operations

that

affect

the

downtown.

During the past year, the focus has been on the following areas: ● Keeping current storefronts in business and encouraging their growth ● Attracting more visitors to downtown, and in particular increasing traffic into storefronts ● Specific attention on leveraging Super Bowl and FIFA World Cup. ● Promoting new businesses that have opened ● Advocating for small businesses on a statewide scale, not just locally Accomplishments and Performance Over Past Year NEW ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF NOTE ● In September, “Meet & Greet on Castro Street” was held to allow local businesses to tell their stories

and

connect

with

the

community,

as

well

as

directly

inform

City

Council

and

Staff

on

key

issues.

The

free

event

was

hosted

by

the

Monte

Carlo

NightClub

and

a

full

house

of

150

was

in

attendance.

The

audience

was

evenly

divided

between

three

groups:

downtown

businesses,

city

staff

and

elected

officials,

and

members

of

the

public.

Each

group

was

identified

by

a

colored

nametag

to

facilitate

interaction.

20 businesses

were

represented

in

short

introductory

videos

shown,

and

four

businesses

were

featured

on

a

moderated

panel

hosted

by

the

City’s

Community

Development

Director.

The

proceedings

were

also

videotaped

by

KMVT

and

posted

on

the

web

for

wider

viewing.

Post

event

polling

of

attendees

showed

significant

new

awareness

of

downtown

businesses,

as

well

as

better

understanding

of

their

unique

offerings

and

their

challenges.

Later

polling

of

businesses

indicated

an

increase

in

visits.
● In October, the popular Oktoberfest celebration (one of the largest events downtown) was put on

by

the

DBA/Chamber

of

Commerce

in

a

new

and

larger

location

on

the

500

block

of

Castro.

With

over

12,000

attendees,

the

event

surpassed

last

year’s

attendance

by

over

16%,

helping

to

promote

visits

to

downtown

and

its

local

businesses,

and

increase

community

engagement.
● In December, in partnership with the Chamber and the City, the DBA tapped into the spirit of giving

with

a

Holiday

Blood

Drive
.

The

Stanford

Blood

Center

reported

that

almost

all

their

available

slots

were

filled

by

appointments

and

walk-ins.
● In late January and early February, the DBA partnered with the City to leverage the Super Bowl with

special

menus,

promotions

and

giveaways,

culminating

in

a

weekend

“tailgate

party”

featuring

football-themed

free

games

and

activities,

as

well

as

an

interactive

online

guides

that

detailed

places

to

eat,

stay,

and

attend

watch

parties.

4 ● In February, Castro Street welcomed the opening of Don’t Eat Me with a ribbon cutting and promotion.

This

multi-faceted

pop-up

-

the

first

to

appear

post-pandemic

-

features

an

array

of

rotating

micro-businesses

and

products,

thereby

increasing

the

diversity

of

downtown,

attracting

more

visitors,

and

serving

as

a

pilot

for

future

creative

business

activations.
● In June and July, in partnership with the City, downtown is leveraging World Cup with “Summer

of

Soccer”
,

a

month-long

set

of

fan-friendly

celebrations.

In

addition

to

a

weekend

of

music

and

watch

parties

for

the

final,

Downtown

will

also

feature

live

music,

soccer-themed

games

and

activities,

business

specials,

and

Entertainment

Zone

festivities.

As

with

Super

Bowl,

an

interactive

online

guide

is

available

that

details

places

to

eat,

stay,

and

attend

watch

parties.

A

central

feature

is

the

Downtown

Mini

Pitch

at

580

Castro

Street,

where

the

public

can

play

pick-up

games

and

local

businesses

can

host

a

pop-up

booth.

Local

professional

sports

teams,

businesses,

and

others

will

also

stop

by

to

increase

excitement

and

attendance.

CONTINUING ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES Staffing and Leadership ● The Chamber continues to have a dedicated staff person for the Downtown businesses, as well team

resources

to

provide

broader

and

deeper

support.
● The Advisory Council membership remains solid and repeatedly demonstrates strong engagement.

For

many

events

and

activities,

the

Council

has

taken

leadership

on

its

own,

with

limited

guidance

or

resources

from

the

Chamber

of

Commerce.

Marketing and Promotion ● Art & Wine Festival (Sept) continues to highlight and promote traffic to local downtown businesses

as

part

of

the

overall

event,

including

a

special

“local

discovery”

section

on

the

map

and

website

and

encouraging

businesses

to

have

event-themed

offers

or

displays.

Once

again,

a

special

booth

was

provided

to

promote

downtown’s

history,

highlighted

by

photos

and

books

donated

by

the

Mountain

View

Historical

Association.
● Executed existing holiday-themed events and promotions specific to downtown including Halloween

on

Castro

(October).

Events

were

well

attended

and

well

received

by

the

public

and

the

merchants.
● In June 2026, the Taste of Mountain View included 17 downtown merchants (several who were new

to

the

event),

and

attracted

500

attendees.
● For the third straight year, in February 2026 (a traditionally slow time for our merchants), a special

double-spread

ad

campaign

for

downtown

small

businesses

was

created

for

the

Los

Altos

Town

Crier.

opportunities

for

public

display,

and

bring

more

than

75 strategic

locations.

properly

promote

downtown,

including

a

renewed

District

(PBID)

or

other

mechanism.

Note

that

is

likely

a

multi-year

project..

Budget
As the DBA is leveraging the Chamber’s wider range of resources and offerings, many of the line items below

reflect

percentages

of

the

Chamber’s

revenue

and

expenses.

Note

that

the

Chamber’s

fiscal

year

maps

to

the

calendar

year

(January

1 to

December

31).

2026

DBA

Annual

Report

Page

7 Notes: ● Only events that fully support the DBA have revenue and expense entries. ● 2027 will be an adjustment year for Oktoberfest as the 590 Castro lot and Wells Fargo Bank building

will

no

longer

be

available.
● Regarding salaries, a percentage of each Chamber staff member’s time is being allocated to support

the

DBA.

The

sum

of

these

staff

costs,

including

payroll,

insurance,

and

other

human

resource

expenses,

is

entered

on

this

line.
● Time allocation is as follows: 40% of the Chamber Membership Events and Marketing Director and President of the DBA

(Marisol

Melara/TBD)
10% of the Chamber CEO (Peter Katz) 10% of the Chamber Membership Director (Priscilla Hernandez/Jayne Riemer-Chishty) 10% of the Chamber Business and Community Development Specialist (Jesse Cupp) Note that actuals for July through September will likely vary due to staffing changes for the Events

and

Marketing

Director.

Per Law, requirement E (noted under item 6 on Page 3), the amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be

carried

Boundaries and Benefit Zone Map

2026

DBA

Annual

Report

Page

9 Per Law, requirement A (noted under item 6 on Page 3), there have been no changes in the BIA boundaries

or

benefit

zones

within

the

DBA

and

no

changes

are

proposed.

The

current

boundaries

are

depicted

on

the

map

above.

The

area

of

the

DBA

is

referred

to

as

“Downtown.”.

Method and Basis of Assessment Per Law, requirement A (noted under item 6 on Page 3), there are no proposed changes to the assessment

fee

or

structure.

It has been consistently demonstrated that the typical BIA program places a higher priority on activities such

as

commercial

marketing.

As

a

result,

the

retail

and

restaurant

establishments

in

the

BIA

are

assessed

more

than

service

and

professional

businesses

in

the

district.

The location of a business also determines the degree of benefit that accrues to that business. Centrally located

businesses

tend

to

benefit

more,

as

do

businesses

located

on

the

ground

floor.

For this reason, #1 and #2 benefit zones have been identified for the BIA. A second criterion is used in the BIA to determine benefit. This criterion, the size of the business, takes into

consideration

the

total

square

footage

of

the

business.

Definitions of Business Types in the Downtown Business Improvement Area Retailers and Restaurants Businesses that buy or resell goods such as clothing stores, shoe stores, office supplies as well as businesses

that

sell

prepared

food

and

drink.

Service Businesses Businesses that sell services such as beauty or barber shops, repair shops, most automotive businesses,

dry

cleaners,

art

and

dance

studios,

printing

firms,

film

processing

companies,

travel

agencies,

entertainment

businesses

such

as

theaters,

etc.

Professional Businesses Businesses that require advanced and/or specialized licenses or academic degrees such as architects,

engineers,

attorneys,

chiropractors,

dentists,

doctors,

accountants,

optometrists,

realtors,

insurance

brokers,

venture

capital

firms,

consultants,

advertising

and

marketing

professionals

and

mortgage

brokers

and

similar

professions.

Additional clarification on business definitions will be defined according to Section 18.2 (Definitions) of the Mountain View Municipal Code. No business types are exempt from fees.
